Oscar de la Renta Scarf, Kodacolor Doggie Jigsaw Puzzle, Germany Farmhouse Pitcher ~ Sept. 14th

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this gorgeous vintage scarf from OSCAR DE LA RENTA. There is no maker's tag, but the signature is in one lower corner. I am assuming that the material is silk. It has a soft, silky feel and is certainly designer quality. A fabulous floral design shows off pansies and other flowers in a tropical, warm, peachy color palette. The scarf would be great, too, for late fall. The narrow border that frames the design is an orangey pumpkin color. The edges appear to be hand rolled and stitched. This is a lovely, lovely scarf you will want for your wardrobe or vintage designer scarf collection!

Measurement: 25 1/2 inches square

Condition: VERY GOOD--clean, freshly laundered, no stains, has very small snag near one side---have to be really looking to see it.....not too bad, but wanted to mention it, original tag missing

Uses : Vintage scarves are wildly popular and are being used in many different ways: framed as wall art, table covers, table runners, pillow covers, as belts, as well as just scarves for head or neck wear.

Price: $10.00

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this lovely pottery pitcher from Germany. It has an elegant design, traditional elements meshed with modern! It could fit into almost any decor. The body of the pitcher is a grayish color, but warm brown glaze has been applied around the lip rim. This has trickled down inside giving a pleasing finish and has speckled around the bulbous part of the outside of the pitcher and gently run down into a nice little "necklace" of soft color. The ball-shaped belly of the vessel gives way to a rounded pedestal foot, which is quite dark in color. The applied handle is rope shaped. On the very bottom of the pitcher, the numbers "423" are incised under the glaze. The words "made in Germany" are stamped on, but very faintly. They are only seen when the pitcher is turned a certain way. They may say "made in W. Germany", but I cannot truthfully make out the possible W, so I am just calling this a German pitcher. The unglazed clay on the bottom has a nice aged patina. I tend to think this piece is early 20th century, but I cannot be sure. It is in excellent condition and would make a wonderful addition to your decor.


Measurement: The pitcher stands 7 1/2 inches tall. It measures 3 1/4 inches across the very bottom of the foot. It measures almost 6 inches from tip of spout to back of handle.


Condition: EXCELLENT----no chips or repairs---has 2 dark holes, very tiny, that are where the glaze bubbles popped after or during firing the piece. These are expected in pottery and are not damages, since they often happen. One is on the back of the piece, near the handle, and the other is under the handle and is not noticeable. Overall beautiful vintage condition!

Brown Bag Cookie Mold, Blue Trinket Box, and The Far Side Mug ~ Sept. 7th

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this wonderful cookie mold or press from BROWN BAG COOKIE ART. This one is called FOUR HEARTS. The name and maker's mark are impressed into the back of the mold. It was released for 1994. It is a HILL DESIGN. The 4 hearts are sections with different flowers in them.......one is a lily of the valley and another is a tulip. The other two I don't recognize, but the 4 probably represent the seasons. The mold is made of a taupe-colored clay material and has a slightly rough feeling texture. It has gently rounded edges and the mold is itself a floral shape. There is a hole in the top for hanging. Molds of this type are charming hung in a kitchen. This once had a recipe attached, but that is not present now. The mold is in excellent condition with no chips. I understand this one is relatively hard to find now. It would lovely in your kitchen as decor or as a useful item for pressing out shortbread or cookie dough, or both!

Measurement: This mold measures 6 inches across at the widest parts.

Condition: EXCELLENT---NO CHIPS OR CRACKS

Price: $10.00

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this very pretty trinket box. It has a pleasing round shape and an all-over floral design. Blue flowers, leaves, and vines twine over a brown mocha background. The inside and edge of the lid are white. White outlines the blue flowers and appears in small patchy areas over the box. There is no maker's mark on the box, but I am guessing it was made in China. It is made of a porcelain type material. It would be a pretty addition to a trinket box collection. It is nice as a jewelry box for the dresser or great for paper clips, stamps, etc. on the desk.

Measurement: The box measures 3 3/4 inches across the widest part of the lid. It stands just under 2 inches tall.

Condition: EXCELLENT---no chips or cracks or crazing--very nice (note--whitish area on lid is part of the design and is under the glaze.)

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this charming Christmas Santa mug from GARY LARSON, creator of THE FAR SIDE cartoon. This rare, hard to find mug was made in 1994. We see a colorful panel depicted twice, one on each side of the mug, that shows Santa in his underwear (really more of Santa than we need to see!) facing his closet. Several red Santa suits are lined up, but among them is one BLUE one. Santa thinks to himself "MAYBE THIS IS THE YEAR." Hats are lined up on the closet's top shelf, and there is a blue one to match the suit. He is debating whether or not to shake things up and wear a different colored suit this year. Santa's large toy bag can be seen in the foreground. Except for the colorful panels, the mug is a nice dark Christmas green inside and out. The full maker's mark is on the bottom of the mug, done in white lettering. There is a large, squared ear handle that will allow 4 fingers. The mug is large, too. I am guessing that it will hold about 10 ounces. Mr. Larson's cartoons are always amusing and usually have slightly wacky characters doing strange things. If you are a "Far Side" collector, this is a mug you don't want to miss! It is in perfect condition and has never been used.

Measurement: The mug stands 4 1/2 inches tall. It measures 3 1/4 inches across the top opening.

Condition: EXCELLENT----NO CHIPS, CRACKS, CRAZING, OR REPAIRS---COLORS BRIGHT---APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN USED--PERFECT

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this wonderful enamelware metal bowl by CATHRINE HOLM in the LOTUS leaf pattern. I couldn't find too much information on Cathrine Holm, but apparently it is a now-closed ironworks in Norway. A lady named Grete Prytz Korsmo is said to be the designer of the line. The bowl possibly dates to the 1970's, although the line is said to be "mid-century". This lovely bowl is 8 inches diameter across the top. It is a reddish-orangey color with white leaf or petal design. (The big white area inside the bowl in the picture is just camera flash glare. It is not on the bowl in reality.) The bowl is made of metal with an enamel coating. On the bottom is a faint circular mark (see photo), but it is difficult to make out. This is a terrific accent bowl or a super piece to add to your Cathrineholm collection. ***You may buy from my shop with confidence. I have over 7 years experiece in online selling and many happy, repeat customers. You may be assured that once I receive your payment, I WILL ship your item.***

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this lovely old oval serving dish. It is marked "Germany" in red on the very bottom and also has the number "23" under that. This number probably doesn't refer to a year, but to a pattern or even to the person who decorated it. I believe this dish to date to the early 1900's or late 1800's. The McKinley Tariff Act of 1891 said all things imported into the USA had to have the name of the country of origin on them. This dish is similar in shape and style to the famous RS Prussia or RS Germany dishes. It is is possible that it is one of these. The dish is what I would call a slimline oval, with pierced handles at the long ends. There is a gentle scallop to the sides of the dish and some ribbing inside. There is some gold trim around the piercings, but it is mostly rubbed away. There is a transfer design of vintage red and yellow cabbage roses along the bottom inner edges of the dish. A swash of reddish browl color goes around the top edge and sides of the dish, fading to a gentle beige inside. One side of the dish has darker color than the other. This is a beautiful old piece--just right for the "shabby" or romantic decor. The dish is in very good condition with no chips or cracks, but it does have some places where the color is worn. This is what you'd expect to find in a dish of this vintage, and, to me, adds to its charm.***You may buy from my shop with confidence. I have over 7 years experiece in online selling and many happy, repeat customers. You may be assured that once I receive your payment, I WILL ship your item.***

Measurement: The dish measures 9 3/4 inches long. It is just over 4 inches across at the widest part. It stands 1 1/2 inches tall.

Condition: SUPER GOOD VINTAGE condition--no chips or cracks or repairs--loss of color to some areas due to age and use

Some Peachy New Treasures ~ Aug. 28

Hello Friends!
I'm making a return to blogging and will be updating this space on a more frequent schedule. I hope you'll stop by and see what new treasures I've found every week!! :)


VINTAGE TALL GREEN GLASS ANCHOR HOCKING PITCHER ~FLOWERS~2 QT

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this lovely vintage avocado green glass pitcher from Anchor Hocking. The pitcher has a very faint anchor mark on bottom and the letters USA. I am guessing that the pitcher dates to the 1970's. The pitcher is tall and graceful. It bulges out just above the base because a series of raised flowers and leaves puff out from the vessel. I want to say the flowers are sunflowers, but maybe not. They also look like several other kinds of flowers. The body and handle of the pitcher have a bumpy texture, while the flowers and lip are smooth. The pitcher is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. Imagine a big pitcher of margaritas or even sweet iced tea! It is such a pretty addition to your table.

Measurement: 10 inches tall - 4 1/2 inches across the opening at the top--4 inches across the base--it holds 2 quarts (half a gallon)

Condition: EXCELLENT---no chips or cracks--perfect

NIPPON VINTAGE CREAMER ~WHITE WITH GOLD~HAND PAINTED~JAPAN~GORGEOUS~ c1891-1921

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this gorgeous small creamer from NIPPON. It is made of a fine porcelain material (probably bone china) and hand painted with gold. The person who painted this creamer was very skilled. The design is quite intricate. It required for the paint to be applied thickly in areas that were to have a raised feeling. The gold trim goes around the rim of the creamer and appears to be a vine. If you look very closely, you can see the individual leaves of the vine and see that they do differ slightly. So, yes, this is hand painted and NOT a transfer. Gold trim goes down the handle, but this has been applied a bit more sloppily, perhaps by a different person. A leaf, scroll, vine design wraps around the neck of the creamer and each side has a crisscross "window". Even the underside of the spout has a bit of gold vine. The gold design is almost imperial in style. On the very bottom of the creamer is the maker's mark, stamped in blue, which says "NIPPON" and "HAND PAINTED". These words are separated by a circle with sections inside it. The McKinley Tariff Act of 1891 required all incoming imports to have the country of origin on them. Many items from Japan used the NIPPON word from this time until 1921, when the US required that the word "Japan" be used instead of the Japanese word "Nippon", which meant the same thing. So, this lovely vintage piece was made between the years 1891 and 1921. This beautiful, regal item would be an asset to any Nippon collection. It is in excellent condition.

Measurement: The creamer stands 2 1/2 inches tall. It measures 3 3/4 inches from tip of spout to back of handle across the top and about 2 1/2 inches across the opening.

Condition: EXCELLENT---really beautiful vintage condition......no chips or cracks or repairs........perfect

VINTAGE SIGNED ITALY BRAYING DONKEY AND CART PLANTER ~ HAND PAINTED~OLD~COLORFUL~LARGE

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this wonderful vintage donkey and cart planter or candy dish. The figural planter was made of pottery and hand painted in bright colors in Italy. It is signed Italy on the bottom. This planter is a charmer because the donkey is braying! He is letting his displeasure at pulling the heavy cart be known. Most donkey carts have the donkey just plodding along, head down. So, I like this one's spirit! Donkey is gray and white, and his hooves are black. His mouth is painted a bright pink and his eyes are an angry yellow. The cart has blue wheels, highlighted in red. The cart itself is white and painted with a flower and cactus design on the sides. It has a sponged or dabbed aqua or teal blue color on the inside, and it is trimmed in an orangey color around the rim. The side pieces that attach to the donkey are light blue with darker blue zigzag designs. The strap across his back is magenta. Edges of the cart are a lemon yellow.I would date this piece to mid century probably. The planter is in exceptional condition for a piece of this kind, although it does have some tiny chips. There aren't many, just a couple on the hooves and another on the cart corner and two very tiny ones on the ends of the cart sides. None of these is really noticeable. I didn't even realize they were there, myself, until I began to check it closely for this description. I am surprised that there aren't more, considering its age and type. Most Italian pottery that I've seen has numberous chips and seems to have a tendency to do so easily. This piece has several rough spots, sharp areas, bumps, etc. under the glaze so I believe the pottery is not smoothed out before it is painted and glazed. These seem to be characteristic of the Italian pottery I've seen of this era. If you collect Italian pottery or donkey items, I believe you will be very happy with this item.

Measurement: 10 inches long---------6 1/2 inches tall -------4 1/2 inches wide------------quite heavy--weighs about 4 pounds

Condition:wonderful vintage condition with tiny flaws described above

Price: $35.00

~ Some Time Away ~

Hello Faithful Friends,
As you might have noticed, I haven't been able to update this blog as much as I'd wanted to in the last few weeks. There have been so many things going on in my life, personal problems and such, that all my blogging has taken a backseat. So, I just wanted to say that I won't be updating this space for awhile. I hope to start again in the coming months, when my life settles down a bit.
~~~~~
Please continue to visit my eCrater store, as I will be adding new things as I'm able. If there is anything you'd be interested in, don't hesitate to email me. Thanks so much!
Hugs, Bebe :)

Click here to see the Ecrater listing for this item (and more pics) ~ B. Potter Puzzle

Description: Waiting for your purchase is this wonderful vintage WORLD CLASSIC REPLOGLE GLOBE. The globe is 12 inches in diameter. The cartographer was LeRoy M. Tolman. This is a very nice globe with a great vintage look to it. The mountains are raised so you can actually feel the Rockies or the Andes! The colors are pretty, too, with pinks, blues, light purples, yellows, and greens. The oceans are shown as a creamy off white vintage-look color. The globe is not dated, but Russia is still listed as the USSR, so the globe must predate the 90's, at least. The central African area is still shown as Zaire, and there is no Dem. Republic of the Congo. Myanmar is still listed as Burma. The globe has markers so you may discover what time it is anywhere around the world. The globe can revolve as well as be turned upside down. It pivots on a full metal base, which has a bronze-look to it. There does not seem to be any rust on the metal.

This is a great globe for the student or for the collector. It would look fabulous on a shelf in a vintage collection!

NOTE: Whitish spots seen in the photos are camera or light glare. They are NOT on the globe itself.

Measurement: The globe is 12 inches in diameter. It is approximately 16 inches tall. The base measures almost 8 inches across.

Condition: Generally, I'd say the globe is in very, very good to great vintage condition. There is a very small scrape in the area of Scotland, about a quarter of an inch or less. Other than this, I can find no other problems. There is no rust on the base. The globe spins properly. The globe colors are bright and unfaded. Very nice condition!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP THESE AND ANY OTHER PUZZLE PIECES OUT OF THE REACH OF BABIES AND VERY SMALL CHILDREN!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ECRATER LISTING FOR THIS ITEM ~ A BUG'S LIFE Description: Waiting for your purchase is this colorful jigsaw puzzle from SPRINGBOK, designed and painted by MARY ENGELBREIT, called ABC READ. The puzzle has all its 400 pieces, it is COMPLETE. The puzzle features the alphabet, or ABC's, with each letter given an associate picture, such as a beehive for the letter B, cherries for the letter C, and inkwell for the letter I, and so forth. Seeing the pictures helps little ones remember the letters and connect them with an image. But, this is considered a "family" puzzle, meaning it has pieces of two sizes.........larger for the kids and smaller for adults. It would be wonderful to work with your little ones and help them to learn the alphabet. But, it also fun for just adults, too. I found the brightly colored puzzle great fun to work. I have many puzzles listed currently and I am always glad to combine shipping on 2 or more purchased at one time. Buy 2 or buy a dozen. You can rely on my puzzles to be all there!

All my puzzles will be COMPLETE, but will not be COMPLETED since they are not glued together as a picture. They all will come to you as disassembled puzzles, ready for you to work and enjoy. I personally work all my puzzles BEFORE I list them, so you may purchase with confidence that my puzzles DO have ALL their pieces. I will never knowingly sell one that does not.
